[quote=Anonymous]I didn't see the first half hour -- is DC Met a relatively new school? The principal spoke about how the kids asked her for a basketball team and a cheer squad, which led me to believe it was a new school. Anyway, I also was taken by some of the words of the Vice Principal. He said something to the effect of, "I just don't get how these kids can't SEE what they're doing to themselves." I cannot even imagine his frustration. You just want to shake these kids. If only it were that simple. I was in tears when Raven's mom moved her and the baby to Texas. The poor teen dad, who actually seemed to be involved with the baby and supportive of Raven's work at the parenting center. He loses his kid and the baby loses her father, repeating the fatherless child cycle. Such hard, hard life circumstances to overcome.[/quote]
